Something new
Well, I bought a sewing machine, all because of Christy and her sewing on layouts, now I'm such a bad sewer ( is that a word?and is it spelled correct? Looks like sewer, the stinky kind.....) that when I was in 4-H I begged and bribed my Mom to make my apron! It's a real generic thing and only paid 57$$ for it @ Overstock.com and had free shipping, too. Figured for that price I couldn't go too wrong, heck I spend that @ a visit to Donna Downy, Blue Moon, etc!
So I am sure I will e calling out for help!
That darn Christy...............

Re: Something new
Good thing about sewing on your projects... no seam measurements!
way easier to sew on paper than make clothes
Re: Something new
Paper is the only thing that I will sew on!!!
Re: Something new
That reminds me... I need to get mine out and whip up some doll clothes for one of my nieces for Christmas......

Last time I tried paper sewing the tension was horrible. (A real nail biter! ) I couldn't seem to get it adjusted no mater which way I tried to set it. I'll have to pull it out and try again.

Oh, you'll have fun! I just did (almost finished, waiting for a "tree" stamp to get here that I ordered) a Christmas card and sewed the edges, I use a machine that my mom gave me, it's probably 50 years old and folds up in itself in a table, still works great, it's a Singer Have fun with it!

Maybe one of these days I will break down and get one. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it Deb.

I never get the tension correct Pam. Doesn't stop me. As long as the loopies are on the back, I don't care.
Have fun with it Debbie!

Just have fun. After all it's just paper!
Re: Something new
Don't worry about it, Debbie. The top looked fine.
Re: Something new
Loopies? Is that the official name for the mangled bobbin mess that I get on the back of my seams?
Have fun Deb! I don't have my machine out on a regular basis, so sewing on paper doesn't occur to me very often. But I'm contemplating getting Nicole a starter machine for xmas and teaching her how to use that. And of course, if THAT stays out, I'm likely to use that on paper rather than my Bernina.
